Frequently Asked Questions

CRUDE Ultimate Driving Education’s main focus is creating a world of advanced drivers. This means that all drivers are educated and trained in a way that no other driving school would dare to venture. Other Driving Schools will not take students through basic maintenance requirements or teach them how to change a tyre, nor will they teach a student about loss of traction and emergency braking.

What areas do you cover?

Area’s are dependant on the Educator. Currently CRUDE has two Educator’s that service the surrounding suburbs of Carlton and Bundoora VicRoads, in Victoria, Australia.

Where and how do I book in a lesson?

You can visit www.dsm.setmore.com to make a booking. Read the booking policy carefully. Simply click on CRUDE Ultimate Driving Education and book in a lesson.*You will need to sign up in order to make bookings.

Can anyone book lessons?

Anyone with a Learner Permit, P1 / P2 or Full / Overseas Drivers Licence can book in lessons.

What are my payment options?

You can make payment by Cash or Bank Transfer when attending a Practical Driving Lesson.

Do you offer automatic and manual?

CRUDE currently offers an automatic vehicle only but will provide manual in the near future.

Do I need to bring my logbook? (Learners Only)

It is a government requirement that Victorian Learner Drivers log at least 120 hours of driving lessons in their logbook. For every Practical Driving Lesson, you will need to bring your logbook to have your hours recorded.

How do my parents / supervising drivers get involved? (Learners Only)

CRUDE offers parents / supervising drivers the chance to attend lessons for free. However, parents / supervising drivers must understand that they are not partaking in any of the activities performed and only required to observe, and ask questions if needed.

During a 75 minute assessed Practical Driving Lesson, students go through a maintenance component that involves various basic tasks and changing a tyre.
However, there is a 30 minute dedicated Maintenance Lesson available to book for those that want to focus purely on this.

CRUDE offers Pick up / Drop off and a 1 hour 15 minute warm up lesson in a supplied Automatic Vehicle before attending your Drive Test at VicRoads. Test bookings must be made at vicroads.vic.gov.au and a separate booking must be made with CRUDE. All VicRoads Fee’s are available on their website.
